Testing an Inkjet Printer Using Purge Patterns

If you have ever struggled to get your printer to print perfectly, without banding, this information may help you.

Inkjet nozzles are very small, about 1/3 the diameter of a human hair. Hard to see with the naked eye. On the bottom of the cartridge or print head there is a bank of nozzles (16, 32, 64 or more) for each color. If one or more of these nozzles are blocked, you will see skipping or bands of white on your printouts.

This is not good. Not only will the white bands (no ink) be objectionable, but the blended ink colors will not come out right. The printer only has base color to work with (cyan, magenta, yellow, black in a 4 color printer). All the other 16 million colors are from blending these base colors. If some of the nozzles in the print head are blocked, the colors will be off, sometimes way off.

Okay, so what to do to get them unblocked.

High Contrast Black and White From Color

There are many techniques that can be used to convert a color image to grayscale using Adobe Photoshop. The numerous techniques lead to endless discussion on which is best.

Inksupply.com has created 2 pdf documents that outline two techniques that will allow for more control over the conversion compared to simply clicking on Image > Mode > Grayscale in Photoshop. While there are many other methods to create a grayscale image, experts disagree on which method is best.

Hue and Saturation B&W

Channel Mixer B&W

Note that these techniques are not necessarily needed when printing with MIS Black and White inks. Please use the appropriate workflow for your inkset.

New Website

We installed our new website today, 5/18/09. It is not a major change to the content. All the products and information that was there previously is still there.

The new site is more search engine friendly, and we have made it easier to find products. We hope you like it.

We also wanted to eliminate the javascript menus at the top of the page, because many potential customers do not have javascript enabled in their browsers. Plus we added some new widgets to show you the products other customers buy, and we have one for new products as well.

If you prefer to use the old site, it is still there. We put a link to it at the top of the home page. You can click here to go there.

We respect your opinions, so if you have some comments about the new site, please let us know.

Re-Ink HP Cartridges for 67 Cents

This is my personal story of how I save money by refilling my cartridge at home.

I have a HP 6310xi All In One Inkjet Printer and I don't spend more than about $8 a year on ink. I print a ream (500 sheets) per week, mostly emails, spreadsheets, pdf documents, etc. (about 95% black).

The printer came with cartridges. I am still using the original black cartridge. Armed with a 125 cc bottle of black HP pigment ink from Inksupply.com ($8). I get 12 refills from this bottle. One refill will last me about a little over a month. It depends how much I print, but it averages about 4 to 5 weeks. Then the print starts getting light, and I refill.

The refill process takes me about 5 minutes, from the time I pull the cartridge out, until I put it back in the printer. It is easy, no mess, and pretty effortless.

If this customer could talk, she would have called us, but instead, she attempted to fix her printer on her own. She also could have looked up the solution in our Knowledge base or sent us a trouble ticket. Take a look at the video....
